What directions do tornadoes spin below the equator?
South of the equator most tornadoes spin clockwise.
What changes occur to gravity as you go further South in the Southern Hemisphere?
As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in southern hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.
What is the dividing the celestial sphere into northern and southern hemispheres?
There is no physical boundary between the northern and souther hemispheres. However, the imaginary line which is at 0o latitude is called the equator.
Do toilets spin counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere?
The direction in which water spins in a toilet bowl is not solely determined by the hemisphere but rather by the design of the toilet and the way water is introduced into the bowl. While the Coriolis effect does influence large-scale weather patterns and ocean currents, its effect on small bodies of water, like those in toilets, is negligible. Therefore, toilets can spin in either direction regardless of whether they are in the northern or southern hemisphere.
What is the imaginary line around the earth that makes it spin?
There is no such line. The imaginary line through its centre is the axis, which the Earth rotates around; the imaginary line an equal distance from the poles is the equator. Neither make it spin - that is caused by momentum from the planet's formation.
What directions do tornadoes spin below the equator?
South of the equator most tornadoes spin clockwise.
What is the difference to tornadoes north and south of the equator?
Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere usually spin counterclockwise, while those south of the equator usually spin clockwise.
Do break dancers that spin on their heads spin in the opposite direction when they are south of the Equator?
No, break dancers spinning on their heads do not change direction when they are south of the Equator. The direction of their spin is determined by their personal preference and technique, not their location relative to the Equator.
Do hurricane's violent winds spin counterclockwise around the center or eye?
North of the equator, yes. South of the equator, they spin clockwise. Wind direction is affected by the spin of the Earth.
Which way do storms that form north of the equator spin?
hurricanes north of the equtor spin counter clockwise and south is clockwise
What is the phenomenon that causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator?
it just does... google it if ur curious
Has there been a hurricane that spin clockwise in the pacific?
Tropical cyclones that occur south of the equator spin clockwise, but they are not called hurricanes in the southern hemisphere.
Why dont toilets in South America go counter clockwise?
i was reserching this question but it said in Google that the oilets in Australia do not spin backwards.
What happens when A high altitude wind system is traveling south from the Equator toward the South Pole?
be deflected to the east by the Earth's spin.
Why are there no hurricanes at the equator?
Hurricanes do not form at the equator because the Coriolis effect, which helps to spin and organize storms, is weak near the equator. This lack of spin prevents the necessary conditions for hurricanes to develop.
Which way does a hurricane spin in the gulf of Mexico?
All hurricanes north of the equator spin counterclockwise.
Does mercury have an equator?
-- If a planet spins, then it has a spin axis. -- If it has a spin axis, then it has poles. -- An equator is just the line made up of all the points that are midway between the poles. So if the planet has poles, then it has an equator. -- Mercury spins.
